Since its inception in 1982, MEPT's philosophy has been to create a diversified portfolio of institutional-quality, income-producing real estate to provide competitive long-term risk-adjusted investment returns, an investment vehicle with flexibility and liquidity so that investors can easily increase or decrease participation in the Fund, and the collateral benefit of job creation.

The result of this commitment is a diversified portfolio of primarily new construction, 100% union-built, high-quality real estate properties in major metropolitan markets around the country that produce strong and stable current income and superior returns for investors. The development of this portfolio has created over 67 million job hours and more than $13.3 billion of economic activity in investor communities.
